I saw Sarah play this at the Royal Festival Hall ,Southbank Centre , London last week. Such an unbelievable performance which it would be hard to equal by anyone. She is truly the Goddess of the Violin.
I am such a big fan of Sarah Chang, but as I progress in my own I notice that sometimes her bowing can be a bit scratchy!? I think it comes in her approach to very tight and impassioned playing (which is the best bit of her performances) but think that often in performances by vengerov there is less of the abrasive tone that sometimes happens here... but then Sarah's performances are always soo expressive!!! she is amazing
Sarah Chang is sublime and the world's greatest violinist but this orchestra is superb and the conductor magnificent in this concerto. The way he controls the base line in the full orchestral parts is masterly, but as is so often thecase with these videos we are not told his name or the orchestra although I think it's the Japanese Symphony Orchestra. Does anyone know the name of this conductor?
Frankly, there are some recent performances superior to this. For instance, Sarah's weakness is obvious from 4:46 to 5:00, that is not due to skills, however, but inadequate understanding and inferior interpretation of the piece. Also, from 5:55 to 6:20, it is in fact not necessary for her to play (see Pinchas Zukerman's version). When it is time for the orchestra to shine, let it shine. Sarah should have understand that.

sarah chang,un usignolo che canta tutto il suo AMORE per la musica,donandomi tutta la sensualità e il sentimento più sincero. Ella, mi penetra il cuore con la dolcezza e la melodia più pura!
Sarah è la più grande e importante violinista , mi incanta e mi fa sognare .Meravigliosa Sarah chang
@honkeydonkeyponkey You Mr. Ponkey have lost all credibility by comparing Sarah Chang to Heifetz. He was much appreciated in his time (and still is). Don't compare this poor excuse of a violinist to Heifetz and STFU.
@honkeydonkeyponkey She's not a very good violinist. That's a fact. Just because you get a little tingle below the belt when you see her videos does not mean she's a great violinist. What are your qualifications?
You would appear to be in a minority with your opinion of this performance by the Virtuoso violinist Sarah Chang .Perhaps you are a Master Violinist yourself who can do better,in which case perhaps we can see some of your own performances on youtube in the near future ?
@lovemetu Actually my opinion is the majority amongst the *elite* string players/musicians who play in big 5 U.S. orchestras, teach at institutions, and perform with orchestras. Chang is a product of the DeLay PR machine, and really a very elementary violinist. It is not a matter of opinion, but fact, that Sarah Chang plays very out of tune and has no idea how to distribute or divide the bow.
Yes heard that argument before,you have a clone in the US,a lover of Heifetz.
Well leaving that one ,my friend who plays the piano in concerts in uk tells me that there are many experts and critics on youtube !!
You speak as a person of such unbounded knowledge on the subject of playing the violin that you are obviously one of these so called *elite* string players/musicians from the US you speak of ,so once again Maestro,let us see you perform then,come on dont be shy !!
The 2nd and 3rd movements were posted on youtube before but I tink they were removed due to copyright infringement.. One of the best Bruch I've seen/heard! Especailly when she plays the tutti with the orchestra. So Autumnsnakearchive, if possible, post the 2nd and 3rd movements again! Many thanks. Kudos for posting this.
I haved the oportunity to listen the mendelssohn violin concerto in person, and it was amazing, incredible. I hope that you will see her too very soon :)
So wonderful!!! Sarah Chang and Haendel are truly the best woman violinist living in my humble opinion and just as good as any famous male master. This is extraordinairy and a miracle!!! I too consider her and Haendel as godess of violin! When I listen to others of about the same age and generation (except Repin of course who is a god in its own right) it confirms even more my impression about her greatness and I always come back to her sound. BRAVO TO HER!!!
This is a very impressive rendition, I saw her live performing the Mendelssohn and I found it slighhtly dissapointing however this is a much better reflection of her abllity to play the violin.
This is what I think not your thoughts, I think that this concerto is soooo beautiful and so fun to play, for me i played this before, but I think that all the three movements in this piece have nothing in comment together, it all sound soo different from each other, the first one is more of a slow and soft sounding, and the second is realllllllly soft and slow, and the third one is really fast with all of doubles stop.
Unlike pop-world/ glamour world, classical music world is all about your talent and then what you wear ( too some extent).....so doesnt really matter if she wore it again and again unlike the other pop-stars where its a bblaspheme to repeat dresses....so unreal world Id say...
Well, yeah I know. I've seen her wear the same dresses while performing different pieces on youtube before. I just thought it was cool that she wore that same dress for that same concerto when I saw her.
Why do people think they can critique these professionals? Her bow isn't straight because she moved into the zone closest to the finger board for dynamics and rotated her bow for style.
please, if even of you. have the movements too. please pose it up. i want to see the last movement. its my favorite one of the three. the last one have so many double strings. i like it.
wtf is your problem, i didn't say anything bad about her. all i said that,she was not suppose to play the tutti part. go watch other ppl play it. they didn't play the tutti. and the background orchestra are good enough. wtf
Like at 5:50 its the tutti for the orchestra, and she's playing with them, in the music sheet its not a solo part. i played this piece before, its really weird how she played the tutti too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
but other who had played this piece, didn't, even though sarah chang is my favorite violinist. but i still thing that its really stupid. why she played with them.
There aren't any, but it's still a mighty fun piece to play. Your profile says that you're 28, so I'm assuming you want to wow your significant other with a snazzy cadenza? I think Mendelssohn or Wieniawski No. 2 shouldn't be too much of a stretch if you're able to handle Bruch, and both have cadenzas.
